Good, send them actual aid and not weapons to their government.
Im reluctant to ask, but i feel obligated to do so. what in your mind is the difference in this scenario?
I feel your reasoning will tell alot. Lets go.
You don't know the difference between weapons used for terrorist attacks on civilians and food and medical aid for civilians?
What about weapons not used for terrorist attacks?
Also, sonething tells me a hoard of russian soldiers will not turn aroud by throwing bread at them.
Oh those Asiatic hordes! You're so right. We have to do something about the hordes!
Asiatic hordes? Aren't the majority of Russians european?
In general I'm against giving weapons to a fascist dictatorship with an ultranationalism that's rooted in fascist, Nazi ideology, for any purposes.
Ukraine government is just as much corrupted as the government of germany, france, italy or russia. Have you seen climate activists and protesters getting beaten over there? Sending billions on military aid to an authoritarian government that is trying to conscript everyone isn't a good thing.

"As of 26 April 2024, the Polish government has offered, and the Lithuania governments is considering, repatriating Ukrainian men living in their countries to Ukraine. So that they can be drafted into the Ukrainian military. It is a “rough estimate” that some 300-400,000 men alone are living in Poland"
This is part of how the polish government is aiding ukraine. Don't you think it would be better to give these escaping the war aid and hospitality instead of handling them back to their government?
